Last week, the Bruin’s Zdeno Chara ignited even more debate about hockey’s safety standards when his bone-rattling hit left the Candiens’ Max Pacioretty with a concussion and a broken vertebra. The NHL decided Chara’s hit was just part of the game and declined to dole out extra punishment.

Still, Chara became the focus of new NHL controversy: Should the NHL quell the violence on the ice?

NHL general managers started meetings Monday in Florida and while we don’t know the outcome just yet, we can be sure that concussions and aggression on the ice will be a topic of conversation.
